FANTASY FOOTBALL ARTICLES

The values below are taken from 12-team mock and real auctions held on FantasyAuctioneer.com from July 21st to August 6th. Mock
auctions where too many computer players present were removed, as well as the top and bottom 10% values to take out outliers
that could skew the averages. These are generally for $200 non-PPR auction leagues that start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K,
1 DEF with 5 to 8 bench spots. Standard scoring of 1 point per 20 yards passing or 10 yards rush/rec, 4 points per passing TD,
6 points per rush/rec TD, with standard K and DEF scoring. The "Change" column is the difference between this report and the last one on July 23rd.

Observations from the Auctioneer's Podium:

1. As expected, among the biggest gainers is Jeremy Shockey (from $3 to $9), who has since moved to this year's version of the
Greatest Show on Turf. Surprisingly, Drew Brees's value actually went down $1, but I have a feeling we'll see him climb up
over the next few weeks, especially with Robert Meachem's stellar performance in their first preseason game.

2. Another decent gainer was Brett Favre, who moved up for $1 to $4 in lieu of all the out-of-retirement talk over the last
three weeks. The last day included in the report was the day before he was shipped to the Jets, so it will be interesting
to see how the move affects his price further, if any. The other Jets skill positions players (Jones, Cotchery, and Coles)
should also see a bump up, so they're a few people to look out for in next week's report.

3. Julius Jones took the biggest hit, going down from $20 to $8 amidst reports of a true RBBC forming in Seattle with perennial
back-up Maurice Morris.

4. The defenses overall started getting more respect, as the Vikings and Chargers shot up in value (from $4-$5 to $8-$9).
